Your Blessings Every day, after both of our children

are asleep, we breathe and take a

moment to count the omer. This Torah-

based spiritual practice tracks the 49-day

journey from Pesach to Shavuot.

This journey can resonate with a person on several levels: It charts the

beginning to the end of the spring harvest -- a time of reflecting on the

past year and offering gratitude to God for what our work has yielded.

It is the journey from freedom at Passover to commitment on Shavuot.

And it is a journey from brokenness to wholeness (seven is the Jewish

number of wholeness – seven times seven even more so!).

The Jewish kabbalists saw this period as a time of purifying the

self, focusing on God’s attributes and how we can connect with aspects

of His perfection. By the time you are reading this article, we will be

counting the final week of the omer – connected to God’s aspect of

malchut, or sovereignty (some would say leadership). The way that

God (and that we) are leaders connects to how we have already

cultivated qualities of love, discipline, compassion, endurance and

humility, which are among the other aspects we seek to deepen into

during the omer.

This year we are looking forward to a wonderful Shavuot at

Beth El, with many ways in which we will beautifully witness the cultivation of joyful Jewish leadership and

knowledge in our community. On June 8th, we will gather at

B’nai Jeshurun in Pepper Pike for their community-wide

Tikkun Leil Shavuot - a traditional Jewish practice of all-

night study and spiritual growth with dozens of area scholars

and Torah teachers. Our emeritus Rabbi Stephen Grundfast

will teach “Reading Between the Lines: the Wacky World of

Midrash,” and Hazzan Matt will teach an early session

entitled “The Secular Sulzer: Rediscovering the First

Modern Cantor” based on his new research in Jewish

musicology.

On Sunday June 9th, we will gather for our first day

Shavuot service with many pilgrims present – our religious

school students will anchor the leadership of the shacharit

service and some will be Consecrated, and then our many

“Spring into Torah” students (including our Shaliach, Mor

Roffe) will do the Shavuot Torah reading. Having so many

new leaders among us truly will move us closer to that aspect

of malchut, and to the Shavuot-worthy goal of bringing

Torah into more lives. We will conclude, as last year, with

dairy dessert treats from the East Coast Custard truck to

sweeten our holiday!

We encourage you all to join us over the two days of

Shavuot and use this time to join the Jewish people in

refining our character and opening our hearts. Wishing you

new revelations and a sweet month!

Shabbat Shalom Bereavement

Group

This is a monthly grief support group for adults who have experienced the death of a loved one. Facilitated by Margaret Bossaller, MSW, LSW, Bereave-ment Coordinator, with Western Reserve Grief Services.

Please join us for discussion, support and comfort the fourth Saturday of most months at 12:15 PM, following an extended Kiddush lunch.

The next group meeting will be Saturday, June 22.

Funded through a grant from the Edward I. Abramson

JCBA Programing Fund.

There’s a Catch-22 in grief

support: because we don’t talk

about the realities of grief in our

culture, no one really knows

how to help. This is true for

friends and family members and

for the pros. The people who

can best tell us how to help—

grieving people themselves—

don’t have the energy, interest,

or capacity to teach anyone how

to be supportive. So, we’re

stuck. Friends and family want

to help, grieving people want to

feel supported, but no one gets

what they want. If we’re going

to get better at supporting each

other, if we’re going to get what

we all want—to love and be

loved—we need to talk about

what isn’t working, and we

need to talk about what really

helps.
